Let us review what we know about IDENTITY

My dear pumpkins, let us now review what we know about IDENTITY by watching these videos and then apply it to KING LEAR and even what THEMES & IMAGES that you see in OTHELLO.

Some thing to think about ...

1. WHO AM I

(Just one scene of nudity)
Spiritual video concerning identity with the words of philosopher Alan Watts.

2. THE HUMAN QUEST FOR IDENTITY

A video made for the Art class in school in 2006 BY SERAPH 1892 - his very first one. One of his fave movies, GATTACA, gave him the main idea for this, so don't be surprised about the endingIt's divided into parts; LIFE, MISSING IDENTITY and NATIONALITY. The music is "The Gravel Road" from "The Village Soundtrack".

3. WHO ARE WE?
Identity - Kaun Hai Hum/ Who are we?
This presentation was created for the Diwali-2004 show (DHOOM) by the University of Kansas Cultural India Club.
Here's the translation: This country of yours is your motherland And is calling out to you This is a bond which can never break How can you forget the scent of your earth You can go anywhere but you'll always come back In new paths, in every sigh To your lost heart Someone will say This land of yours is your motherland Life is telling you You have achieved everything now what's left Looks like happiness has been showered on you But you're far from your home Now come back oh crazy one Where at least someone will call you their own And will call out to you That very same country This land that is yours.. This moment has hidden in it A whole century of life Don't ask why, in the road Has come a fork with two ways You are the one who should choose the path You should choose which direction to take This very country This country of yours is your motherland.
